When I first heard of the word "cyberterrorism", I thought that it was just like stalking to threaten people. Apparently not. To some people, they find this threat so real that false reports about hacking and controlling systems have been going around.
According to J.T. Caruso, cyberterrorism is the use of cybertools to shut down critical national infrastructures for the purpose of coercing or intimidating a government or civilian population. It comes in 2 forms: one against data and another on control systems. This is based on a news.com special report.
In the Philippines, we are getting more and more digital. So many governmental agencies have been computerizing their systems with intent to eventually centralize all information. Although it seems that a few more years will have to allotted to these plans, it follows that we will also be prone to these threats.
Just when we thought we can't get any more scared than we already are.
